Rainbow Six Siege: Cheater infestation ruining the game?

The popular online shooter, Rainbow Six Siege, reportedly has severe issues with rising cheater players. These individuals use exploits and glitches to gain an edge over their enemies, creating an unfair environment for other players. But how to combat cheaters in the game? Let’s take a dive.

Rainbow Six Siege is a game that has been plagued by cheaters. With the new year, a new flood of reports is coming in, as players report that the game is still almost unplayable due to the exploitation of players.

While there is no foolproof way to completely avoid cheaters, there are some steps you can take to minimize the impact they have on your gameplay. One way is to report them to Ubisoft, who will investigate and take action if necessary.

Another way is to play with a group of trusted friends, as this reduces the chances of encountering cheaters. Additionally, look out for suspicious behavior, such as players who seem to know others’ locations without any obvious reason or players who are able to shoot through walls.

Rainbow Six Siege has implemented various anti-cheat systems over the years to combat cheating. One of the latest systems is Ubisoft’s MouseTrap, which has proven to be effective in reducing the number of cheaters, particularly those using keyboard and mouse on console versions of the game.

Additionally, the game has used BattlEye as an anti-cheat system in the past, and there have been mentions of other systems like FairFight and MOSS in the community. However, there are rare instances where these systems kick out innocent players.

Some common cheating methods in Rainbow Six Siege include:

• Wallhacking: This involves using tools or mods that allow players to see through walls, giving them an unfair advantage in the game.
• Aimbot: Aimbot is a type of cheat that automatically aims the player’s gun at the target, making it easier to hit enemies.
• Speedhacking: This involves using tools or mods that increase the player’s speed, allowing them to move faster than intended.
• Flyhacking or Teleporting: These cheats allow players to fly or teleport around the map, bypassing obstacles and enemies.
• DDOS attacks: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are used to flood a server with excessive traffic, causing it to crash or become unresponsive.
• Data tampering: This method involves modifying game data to gain an unfair advantage, such as increasing health or ammo capacity.

To combat these cheaters, Ubisoft has implemented various anti-cheat measures, such as DDOS bans, data bans, and botting bans, but alas, the issue still seems to be quite prevalent in the game.
